These are my specs:

CPU: AMD FX 6100 3.3 Ghz
GPU: Gigabyte R9 280x
Motherboard: ASUS M5A78L - USB3
PSU: Corsair GS800 non-modular
RAM: 16GB 1333Mhz
HDD: 3TB Seagate Barracuda & 500GB Seagate Barracuda
OS: Windows 8.1 64bit

I was wondering how i could improve this build for around £150 so that i could have good frames whilst live streaming, recording game play and rendering videos. Any help would be appreciated on how to improve this system that i have already thanks.

You could upgrade your motherboard to a 990FX board. That way, you can upgrade later to faster RAM, SATA 6Gb/s, and if you get a motherboard that supports CrossFire, you could add another graphics card later on. All of this, of course, will cost more than £150. But you could use that money to take the first step in upgrading your system, which I think would be getting a new motherboard.
